About NÜ, a media agency in Montreal
At NÜ, we believe digital advertising can be done differently: with more rigour, more transparency, and a real connection to local media. Founded in Montreal, our media agency helps brands and agencies turn their digital ad investments into clearer business decisions. That’s what we call media intelligence.
NÜ is an independent media agency in Quebec, built to help brands and agencies better understand, manage, and measure their digital advertising investments. Our approach combines the right environments, the right data, and the right measurement, with a human behind every recommendation. When they serve your objectives, local media are prioritized for their credibility, proximity, and cultural impact.
That’s what media intelligence means to NÜ.
The story behind NÜ
When Sébastien Janin founded NÜ, he had one conviction: digital advertising could be done differently.
With fifteen years in marketing, including more than ten in digital advertising, he watched how budgets were being invested, how decisions were being made, and, most importantly, what the market was missing. His conclusion: an industry that optimizes fast, that talks about performance, but rarely measures what actually builds a brand, and pushes ethics and transparency to the sidelines.
That conviction led to the founding of NÜ in 2023: an independent digital media agency, based in Montreal, that helps advertisers and agencies who want their digital advertising investment to truly drive their growth. A kind of marketing that chooses its environments with intention, explains its choices clearly, and puts people at the centre of every decision. Years later, that same conviction still guides every mandate.
Our vision
To become the leading media intelligence partner in Quebec, the one who proves digital advertising can be done with more transparency, more ethics, and results that truly matter. A market where every business knows exactly where its ad dollars go, why, and what they produce.
Our ethical framework
We believe investing intelligently in digital advertising also means rebalancing toward local media. Independence, transparency, and the value of local media are the three convictions that guide every recommendation we make.
Independence
No platform affiliation. No conflict of interest. NÜ makes a deliberate choice: every recommendation is guided by one priority, the one that truly serves your objectives.
Transparency
No jargon, no grey areas. Every dollar invested is traceable, every placement is explained, and every choice is owned, every step of the way.
Local roots
We rebalance investments toward Quebec and Canadian media when they better serve your objectives. Because every dollar invested here supports the local media ecosystem.
